Unitronic’s philosophy in designing Performance Hardware starts by first analyzing the factory component(s) in various street and track environments to determine overall performance and likely limitations beyond certain power levels.  Through analysis of the data collected, along with engine calibration and engineering principles applied, goals were set forth; optimization of exhaust gas flow and limiting backpressure on the turbine were top priority from a functional, performance oriented standpoint.  In addition to these and following suit as is with all of Unitronic Performance Hardware products, ensuring precise OEM-like fitment and top tier component quality is also of utmost importance.  All of this must be met without sacrifice, while also ensuring a competitive performance to cost ratio for our end-users.

All of Unitronic’s Performance Hardware products are designed using our in-house 3D scanner and modeling software.  With these industry-leading resources in-house at our disposal, design aspects and fitment tolerances are at the maximum precision of up to four one-thousands of an inch.  The result ensures maximum fitment precision on each and every Unitronic Performance Hardware product.  After platform constraints and OEM components are 3D scanned, all data is imported into our modeling software, where we can analyze and interact with the chassis constraints to design an upgraded performance-oriented exhaust system to fit these constraints, as mentioned, perfectly; while ensuring that technical aspects and engineering principles are deployed.

On this 2.0 TSI Gen3 platform, Unitronic’s Downpipe features a flow matched turbocharger turbine discharge downturn of 80mm smoothly tapering to 76.2mm (3”).  The exhaust gasses continue through a 200-cell metallic matrix high-flow catalyst, located in the factory position for maximum efficiency along with an OEM-inspired heat shield to reduce radiant heat dispersing into the engine bay.

Unitronic’s Downpipe is designed to utilize the OEM mounting locations to ensure a seamless direct bolt-on upgrade, while securely fastening the downpipe to the engine.  This results in mitigating any potential rotation of the v-band flange between the turbocharger discharge and downpipe under hard acceleration and engine movement.  Unitronic’s Downpipe also features an 6-inch corrugated stainless steel flex section to further ensure long-term longevity and integrity.

Unitronic’s Exhaust Systems feature a unique v-band fastening system, using  T316 stainless steel flanges and a locking ring to guarantee a centric alignment of the two v-band flanges to ensure a leak proof connection every time. These elements combined not only allow Unitronic to set itself apart from the competition, but also for less development prototyping, faster validation, and strict post-production quality control.

Project SportWagen: Going Stage 2 with APR

    When we last left you, the humble little SportWagen was fresh from the development process with our friends at AWE Tuning, sporting a new downpipe, exhaust and intake, allowing things to breathe a bit easier.  The car sounded great, but there was no getting around the fact that our wagon was still quite, well, slow.   While we realize that nothing we do to the Golf SportWagen at this point will make it a race car, we still felt compelled to do something .  To put it bluntly, we had a fever, and the only cure was more power. Flash forward a few hours, and we found ourselves at Waterfest, staring down APR’s palatial spread and the numerous tuned vehicles surrounding it.  Earlier in the year, APR had hinted to us that their 1.8 TSI files would be quite impressive, and based on what they were able to do with the 2.0 TSI found in the new GTI and our time in their Golf R, we knew it’d be worth the wait.  So with this in mind, we lined our G...

Volkswagen Group Records Best Ever First-Half-of-Year Sales

With 5.5 million vehicles in customer hands after the first six months of 2018, the Volkswagen Group is seeing the best performance of its history. Group deliveries increased significantly in all core regions,” said Fred Kappler, head of sales for the Group. “Our core brands recorded strong growth in the first half year.” For the year-to-date, all of Volkswagen’s brands had sales bumps. MAN, SEAT, and Skoda led the sales charge with performances 24%, 17% and 11% better than the previous year. The big sellers, too, had strong sales periods, with Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, Audi, and Volkswagen sales rising 3.5%, 4.5% and 6.3% respectively. That last figure is particularly good new for the board, since Volkswagen alone sold more than 3 million vehicles in the first half of 2018. As Kappler stated, the numbers are equally good when you break sales down by region. Brazil and Russia were the most improved markets (22% and 20%, respectively), while strong sales in Europe and China (u...

Project Golf SportWagen- Intro

I’ve never really been one for SUVs and crossovers.  The current offerings aren’t the body-on-frame, go-anywhere specialty tools I remember from my youth, and what they lack in capability, they also lack in on-road performance. The current crop isn’t terribly good at handling or being efficient, which in my opinion are major components of our ideal driving experience.  So when it comes to space or utility, I usually look for something of the wagon variety- and it seems that I’m not alone. We hit quite a few shows around the east coast each summer, and we see modified Jetta SportWagens at nearly every event. Even amongst common consumers, these cars are highly sought-after. They don’t depreciate much, making even early Mk 5 2.5 versions expensive in comparison to other Jettas or Golfs of the same vintage. This year, Volkswagen launched their latest SportWagen, which is now billed as a Golf.  In many ways, this latest SportWagen is the best yet and it has certai...
